    Welcome to the IHoP

    Facebook is very gay. If that wasn't the easiest way to connect with some of my friends across the country I wouldn't use it.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Put a new hammer in my .45 tonight, improved trigger immensely. Next step is a crap ton of polishing, new SS guide rod, and millwork on the slide for an adjustable rear sight.
  3. Ok, so my front stage is composed of a pair of MLI 6.5's in the doors, and a pair of Fostex FF85k's (3" full range) in the dash. What I am wanting to discuss is windshield reflections. Where my head is normally is a slightly nasty reflection point, not sure how this relates to phasing issues, reflections, and off axis response. I noticed this awhile ago when reaching for something across my car while listening to a CD and noticing the change as I moved my head across the car. The MLI's and Fostex's are crossed over at ~400hz with the amplifiers onboard crossovers due to the fact my DCX bit the dust. The amps that are being used are a PPI 4240 and a RF 450.2 Thoughts on ways to go about attacking this problem? My initial thoughs are to make a offset ring to angle the speaker away from the windshield more in order to get the reflection point farther away from the source point . I can't get to carried away without making some ugly blob on my dash which I really don't want since I put a lot of miles on it and don't care to look at it. Also, I am wondering if it is more pronounced on the drivers side since due to the slope of the dash there it is pointed more at the windshield to begin with. Passenger corner Drivers side

    Kappa speakers shorting out on door

    Fish tape, tie wire, coat hanger, anything you can fit through the opening and tie the wiring too will suffice for pulling them through.

    6" Suspension lift next? It wouldn't fit in the garage after lift and bigger tyres Plus it's a dd...not sure I'd lift it I would! I would never willingly drive a lifted jeep as a daily driver, or really, just a jeep in general.

    I do not buy books until a couple weeks into classes to find out if I actually need them or not.

    That is a booze top. Its not something I could drink all the time, but its a pretty decent change from their regular wheat which is still pretty darn tasty.

    Hmmm, interesting. So the squeezebox is also an integral tuner that goes online? No tuner, just internet device. You connect it to your router, when it needs to it grabs music files off a networked PC and when it is Pandora/Internet Radio it grabs it off the internet. Super slick and easy interface as well. Ahh ok. The more I know about them the more I want one.

    Sean and Tom have seen me, not exactly a broad guy. My mom tried to put weight on me for years, I can eat anything I want to and don't put on a pound.

    They are probably waiting till it thaws and they can get the dang thing out.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Got a new holster for my .45. Not bad when a 140lb 5'10" guy can conceal a full frame .45 with a untucked polo, or looser fitting shirt.

    I can't wait till my friend gets his 6mm Benchrest build done, 105gr VLD bullets hopping out at about 3,200fps And it should be 1/4 to 1/3 MOA at 1,000yrds
